“an approach to language education in which


students are given functional tasks that invite
them to focus primarily on meaning exchange
and to use language for real-world, non-
linguistic purposes”

(Van den Branden 2006).


An approach to language learning where
learners are given interactive tasks to complete

In order to do this, they need to communicate.

Once the task is complete, then the teacher


discusses the language used.
(Leaver and Kaplan, 2004: 61)
